r/InstantRamen

Growing up my mom cooked her maruchan noodles on for 10 mins and my cousins for 4 mins so one day I read the back of the package and it said to cook for 8 mins so I been doing that for all my life. I stopped eating anf getting the years ago. I was asked to make some for a friend and they said 3 mins. When I told them what I said previously they said the back say 3 mins. Does anyone else remember 8 mins for the microwave?

x 4 years ago back when there were like 3 flavors, I ranked them all. I'm here to rank them again. Feel free to fight me in the comments. Here we go:

1. Mala (please where do I find this??)
2. Carbonara (duh)
3. Original
4. Jajjang - discontinued in USA
5. Habanero lime - underrated, not talked about enough
6. Curry - also discontinued because Samyang hates me
7. 2x Spicy tied with Stew type
8. Cream Carbonara (not spicy enough)
9. Tom Yum - Pretty good, not great, i just don't really like soup
10. Taco - this one is polarizing, but I think it's fun
11. Kimchi - this one is fine but other kimchi ramen brands just do it better
12. Cheese
13. Rose
14. Tomato Pasta - I didn't mind this one, but it was too fake tomato. Also discontinued
15. Quattro Cheese - I didn't like this but apparently it's been reformulated so I'll need to try it again

And the never-agains:

11. Birria - why does it taste like farts?

12. Yakisoba - I do not want worchesterchire sauce flavored ramen

13. Sweet Corn: need I say more? This is deadly.

Sauces I haven't tried yet: Swicy (why? just eat tteokbokki) Truffle (no), 3x spicy (but I would if someone wants to mail it to me thank you)

Im 26 on my weight loss journey and I LOOOVE buldak. I eat it once a week as a cheat meal. I need you guys to tell me what to do because.. well, this is the internet, why not.

Im craving buldak badly today too even if I had it yesterday. I am currently on my period so on one hand im like ugh just eat the damn noodles you are having cravings and on the other im like bruh maybe dont its gonna fk you up two days in a row.

What should I do

I haven’t explored all the varieties very much, but I feel like I could eat ramen almost daily. Just curious if the instant ramen is really unhealthy or anything you can do to make it better for you?

ETA- Thanks for all the advice! I made the original post accidentally sound like I actually am eating it almost every day. I just meant that I love noodles and feel like I could eat them every day! :)

ohmygod i just had an otherwordlyexperience

just had indomie spicy migoreng and my god its heavenly
the flavours the spice the layering of different profiles is just too good

i would rather buy a 5 pack of this than any buldak atp holyshi its amazing

and i mixed a soft boiled yolk in it at the end and it felt like a perfect ending of a chapter
12/10 (extra points for fried garlic sachet)

While enthused that Maggi is putting a little effort into pushing noodle products into the US market, this was disappointing.
